Glide silently along the glassy shores of Lake Oldevatnet on a premium electric bike, with the valley's cathedral walls and cascading waterfalls as your constant companions — the most elegant and independent way to absorb Oldedalen's legendary beauty.
What to expect
Modern, well-maintained e-bikes are fitted to each guest at the pier before a gentle warm-up along the riverbank. The route follows the lake's eastern shore, with the snow-capped peaks of Oldeskaret reflected in the water to the left and Laukifossen waterfall thundering into the valley from the right. The guide shares local folklore at natural pauses — the story of the 1936 Loen disaster and the valley's remarkable recovery is particularly poignant. The final stretch through riverside birch forest is serene.
Good to know
No prior cycling experience required — the e-assist handles all gradients. Helmets provided. Appropriate for most fitness levels. The 3-hour tour fits comfortably within a standard Olden port call with time to spare. Departs from and returns to the cruise pier. Layers recommended; valley weather can be cooler than the fjord.
